5 Day Learn to Surf Surfari - 1 person

Learn to surf and discover the real New Zealand!  A great birthday or Christmas gift for Teenagers or those who have always wanted to surf.

The 5 Day Tour is a surf surfari for beginners to advanced alike. Our custom tailored surf wagon gets you on the beach to remote locations where you can learn to surf in uncrowded conditions. Our tour takes us to the sub-tropical waters and climate of the winterless North, which offers a variety of waves to suit all abilities.

Most of our customers are beginners but many experienced surfers take our trips because we find the best waves to suit all abilities. For the new surfer having good surfers on board is a bonus, by hangin with them it will greatly improve your surfing. The drawback is your vocabulary will change and words like pits, gnarly, point break, going off! It is all part of the experience so not to worry. Our tour heads north for the simple reasons of the sub tropical water and climate, the remote and unspoiled beaches, and the consistency of the surf due to the proximity of the 3 coasts (North, East and West).

All our guides are internationally recoginsed ISA surf coaches and they hold a minimum level 1 endorsement. They have been trained in surf safety hold current first aid certificates for your safety.
